Understanding the Charges Against You

The Driver's License Compact, or the Interstate Driver's License Compact,
is an agreement between most states where they share information regarding
traffic violations, including DUI. If you live in State A but are arrested
for drunk driving in State B, the violation will be communicated to the
authorities in your home state.

You could receive the penalties, upon conviction, that apply in the state
where you were arrested, even if they are different from your home state's
laws. Once you have finished your sentencing and other penalties, you
could face further penalties from your own state. These could include
your license being revoked and more jail time as well.

Fighting Hard to Protect Your Rights

You are going to need knowledgeable, skilled legal help if you are from
out of state and arrested for DUI in our state. A conviction can mean
that you are fined and jailed in the state where the violation occurred.
Your license can be suspended in the state where the DUI occurred but
not taken away. Your home state can take away your license, however.
